<h4>Chapter 276 - You Two Are More Than Enough!</h4>


    In Oliver''s office.


    "Teacher, this must be the work of the Emperor, he wants to sully your name since you''re leaving in such a way," ke said in an annoyed tone.


    "I know, but what''s the use of fighting with them? That is exactly what they want. I think they''re trying to see if Chris is around. Given his temperament, he would''ve killed a few people by now, heh!" Oliver chuckled at the end of his statement.


    "Hmph! Underhanded tactics." ke snorted coldly.


    After finding out what the Emperor was trying to do some time ago, he hated them strongly, especially because he would most likely lose Delia because of this. Since she left the Academy thest time, she hadn''t returned, even till now. He had even headed to her family''spound but she wasn''t there.


    "You still haven''t seen your little girlfriend?" Oliver chuckled when he saw ke''s expression, it was like he could see through him.


    "No, I''ve searched every possible ce I can think of." ke shook his head with a sad face.


    "She''s fine, don''t worry too much. I believe she will show up before we leave." Oliver consoled him.


    ke nodded but didn''t say anything else, just as he was about to leave, he asked, "When are we leaving?"


    "Two days from now. Tell that little nuisance to be prepared." Oliver said.


    "Yes, Teacher." ke bowed before leaving the office.

    Alice''s house.


    Alice and us could be seen sitting outside with serious expressions.


    "Why isn''t Grey here yet?" Alice asked while looking at Void who was lying leisurely on a chair.


    "Void confirmed he asked him toe, right Void?" us asked, looking at Void.


    Void nodded when he saw them looking at him, he had told Grey toe over, it had been almost thirty minutes now, but he still wasn''t here.


    Alice and us were just about to continue when Void looked in the direction of the small gate that led into thepound. Grey''s figure could be seen walking towards them. He looked a little exhausted from working too much.


    "Hey, what''s up?" Grey asked as he walked into thepound.


    "Haven''t you been hearing about the rumors around the Academy?" Alice asked with a raised brow.


    "I have, but why are you guys bothering about it? You should know this is the n of some people to spoil the name of the Principal." Grey replied nonchntly.


    Although he wasn''t close to the Principal, he knew he wasn''t the type to shirk away from a fight. This must be a plot by some people.


    "Why aren''t you bothered?" us asked.


    "Because given what the Principal had done for the Academy and the City, the people wouldn''t believe it. Of course, there would be people who would believe it nheless, but it doesn''t really matter." Grey exined with a shrug.


    The fact that all the Head Instructors and almost all the high ranked Instructors willingly resigned along with the Principal showed how united they were. How could someone who could build such a great Academy be someone who would run away because of a war? Grey didn''t believe any word the people were saying.


    "You''re more rxed than I am," us said.


    "I''m not, I''m exhausted. Worrying about the stupidity of people is not something I usually do. You and Rey are more than enough for me to think about, if I have to add every other person out there, I might die." Grey chuckled before taking a seat.


    Alice burst outughing when she heard Grey''sment , us on the other hand snorted.


    "How are things with your research?" asked Alice.


    "Going well…" Grey paused mid-sentence before adding, "I think,"


    "You must have blown up the ce, right?" us asked with a smirk.


    Grey called him stupid a few moments ago, now that he had the chance to get back at him, of course he would!


    Grey hesitated before replying, "No, no I did not,"


    "Haha! You''re lying. How many times did it blow up?" usughed when he saw Grey hesitating.


    "Okay fine, they blew up, maybe once, or twice. But I''m increasingly getting closer to sessfully making it." Grey replied truthfully.


    After thest time the two wooden objects exploded, he made sure not to replicate any more arrays, but to his surprise, after he made his own set of arrays in the wooden object, it exploded. There was one time when it exploded while he was still working on it. If not for his quick reaction and his strong physical defense, he would''ve been injured.


    Luckily for him, his Teacher''s house was still intact. Apparently, his Teacher created a defensive array around his house, so even when the explosion goes close to it, it doesn''t cause any damages. Grey still hasn''t been able to find out the cause of the explosions, but he had been making improvements on it. His only concern was that he was running out of wood.


    "Haha! Did you almost die?" us asked in the middle of hisughter.


    Grey red at him, which made Alice giggle. She always enjoyed being with the boys, they are always fun to be with. They stayed in her ce for a little while before heading to the city, us took them to the underground fight club they visited before they left for thepetition. Alice felt a little downcast because she couldn''t fight due to her strength. This was the only thing she hated about being in the Origin ne, not being able to fight like she usually does. Other than sparing with the boys, she doesn''t fight as she previously did.


    When they got back to the Academy, Alice told them she would be leaving the next day. Her father sent someone toe get her, she would''ve left if not for wanting to hang out with the boys one more time. She didn''t know when next they would be able to hang out like this again.


    Grey felt more pressure on his work, but the truth was, he was already trying his best, but he still hasn''t been able to make it till now.
